THE PUERTO RIGAN NATIONALISTS MUST BE FREED:
INTERVIEW WITH RAFAEL CANCEL MIR^A
AND ZORAIDA COLLAZO
LIBERATION News Service
"We have a word In Spanish, when you become
indignado. We have gone through so much, and
people just expect the Puerto Rican people to go
on living on their knees and just beg the United
States, 'Oh please, give us our independence.'
They cannot understand our getting angry."
— Zoraida Collazo, daughter of or.e
of the four imprisoned Puerto
Rican nationalists
NEW YORK (LNS) — Lolita Lebron^ Rifaet Cancel
Miranda t Irving Flores’ Rodriguez and Oscar Collazo
are the four longest held political prisoners in
the western hemisphere. They are in prison in
the U.S. — tHree since 1954^ the fourth^ Oscar
Collazo i since four years earlier in 1950.
The following article includes portions of
an August interview with Cancel Miranda at the
Federal Penitentiary in Marion^ Illinois^ and an
interview with Zoraida Collazo ^ Oscar Collazo's
daughter. It is the edited transcript of a
program produced by Celeste Wesson which appeared
on WBAI radio station in New York City in iscember.
In th^ programt Collazo discusses the history of
the situation in Puerto Itco which led up to the
nationalist attacks in 1950 and 1954^ and Cdnael
Miranda described dome' of the treatment he has
received in prison over fhe last 27 years while
he "has stood by his refusal to ask the U.S. govern-
ment for a pardon and thereby win his release.
COLLAZO: The Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico
organized as a result of the Part ido Union de
Puerto Rico eliminating from their program the
clause of Independence. Pedro Albizu Campos joined
the part] that same year and in 1926 he was elected
vice president. He then went on a tour of Latin
America and came back in 1930 and was made presi-
dent of the Nationalist Party.
VJhen he was in Latin America he saw every-
thing that was happening with the Latin American
countries — all these big American corporations
controlling these countries — so that his outlook
had changed somewhat. He started educating the
people and organizing the students and as early
as 1934, the sugar cane workers called him and
asked him to there to lead them in the sugar
cane strike of 1934.
The government of the U.S. noticed that the
movement for llberaf*on of Puerto Rica was growing.
So they used repression and the repression became
quite violent, resulting in the death of four
nationalists in Rio Piedras in 1935 durin" a
demonstration in support of the sugar cane strike.
(Then followed) the bringing to justice of Colonel
Francis Riggs who ordered the Rio Piedras
massacre, the assassination of the nationalists
who brought him to justice, the Ponce massacre
in 1937 (in which police opened fire with machine
guns on a parade of the nationalist party,
killing 22 people and wounding more than 200) , and
the incarceration of the nationalist leadership...
In 1947 Albizu Campos returned to Puerto
Rico. He had been in Atlanta, serving a sentence
Page TT LIBERATION News Service
of six to 10 years for conspiracy. The government
was really surprised that 40,000 people had
received him in San Juan. They thought they had
really destroyed this feeling of nationalism in
the Puerto Rican people.
In 1948 the students of the University of
Puerto Rico asked the rector of the University to
give them permission so that Pedro Albizu Campos
could speak in a student assembly. The rector
of course said no. And the students went on
strike. The police in Puerto Rico became very
vicious with the students. Students were beaten,
arrested, many were expelled from the University.
The University closed down for the rest of the
semester and there was no Commencement exercises
held that year.
It all came to a peak in 195C. The govern-
ment had been convincing the Puerto Rican people
about a new formula - — the free associated state.
And the government of the U.S. in Washington drafted
a very poor copy of the constitution and were
planning on shoving it down our throats in 1952.
Don /Pedro was e'^ucating the people. He had
been speaking contiruously in every town on the;
island. And in 1950 the government really came
down on the Nationalist Party — arresting national-
ists, searching the houses without warrants. They
were actually forced to defend their lives. The
revolution was really provoked by the repression
against the Nationalist Party.
The nationalist 1950 Revolution broke out
on October ZO after four nationalists were arrested.
Fighting soon erupted^ spreading to all the
island's major cities. For five days ^ tanks and
planes t bombs and machine guns strafed the island^
seeking out the insurrectionists. Thousands of
Puerto' Ricans were arrested^ thousands were con-
fined to 'house arrest t hundreds massacred^ and
those few Nationalists who did survive were
sentenced to long prison terms. The 1950 uprising
did manage to tctke over the city of Jayuya and
proclaim the independent Tbpublic. Jayuya fell
after four daysj but it was an expression of a far
wider support among the 'Puerto Rican population.
COLLAZO: I was 15 years old in 1950. We were
living in New York. My father was the secretary
of the Nationalist Junta in New York. And we were
of course worried about what was happening in Puerto
Rico. We used to read the news, listen to the news.
And the media here made it seem like it was a
bunch of fanatics, of crazy people killing one
another. Puerto Ricans had gone crazy and it was
some sort of civil war in Puerto Rico. No mention
of U.S. involvement.
So Oscar Collazo and Griselio; Torresola
decided that they had to give a demonstration that
woiJLd be so big that it would cause the attention
of the American people and the whole world. Of
course they knew that if they picketed the United
Nations nobody was going to pay attention to them.
But if two Puerto Ricans were to die before the
residence of the president of the U.S., the people
of the U.S. would begin to ask questions and to
notice, and the world would know that there was a
nation in the Caribbean that was struggling for
its liberation.
On November 1, 1950 ^ Oscar Collazo and Griselio
(#895) January 20, 1978 more...
ToTveeola attacked the Blair House ^ President
Harry Truman's temporary residence. Torresola
and a Blair House guard were killed. Oscar
Collazo was sentenced to death. The death sen-
tence was later conmuted to life imprisonment. He
has been in "prison 27 years.
COLLAZO: In 1950, the whole family, my step-
mother, my two stepsisters and myself were taken
to the FBI hes'iquarters here in New York for
interrogation. And I was held all night, interro-
gated'all night, without food, without sleep. «
They took my fingerprints and the fingerprints
of my stepsisters. They took mugshots, the
works. Trying to Intimidate us, they made us
wait in the hallway. And my stepmother and
Torresola 's wife Carmen Delores, they passed
^hem by with handcuffs. They were held for 30
days. They were trying to prove that the women
knew where their men were going.
This really affected me in the sense that —
I was already political from the age of 12 --but
I really had a chance to see from near, to suffer
itself, from the experience of what an imperial-
istic country, the lengths they would go to when
they are afraid of a liberation movement.
I was followed to school. They would go to
my aunt's house where I lived later on, and they
would lock themselves in the kitchen with me and
send my aunt upstairs and she would of course
be intimidated by it...
Still it was a beautiful experience to grow
up among the Nationalists. All the people who
were active in the Nationalist Party in New York
were my family. Of course, I missed my father...
In 1954, there were still hundreds of Puerto
Ricans Incarcerated. As far as three years
after the revolution there were people who had
not received a trial. And many who had received
trial, three and four years after the revolution,
were later found innocent.
Many people who were not even nationalists — •
who were just sympathizers, friends, relatives —
were incarcerated. There was this woman — the
mother of children who participated in the revolu-
tion - — she was accused of conspiracy and
sentenced to 10 years because she fed her children
that morning before they went to the revolution.
Many, many things were happening in Puerto
Rico. So Lolita Lebron, Rafael Cancel Miranda,
Irving Flores Rodriguez, and Andres Figueroa
Cordero decided that it was time again to drama-
tize the question of Puerto Rican independence —
in the Congress, because Congress is the legisla-
tive body which passes the laws that have to do
with Puerto Rico.
CANCEL MIRANDA: It was not a kick. We bought
one way trip tickets [to Washington] because we
never expected to come back alive from there. We
all expected to die there at that moment. Of
course the main reason was not to die, though we
expected to die. The main reason was to bring
attention of the whole world to the reality Of
Puerto Rico. j
On March 2 , 1954^ Bxfael Cancel Miranda ^
Lolita Lebron j Irving Flores Bodriguez and Andres
Figueroa Cordero fired their guns into the Congress
of the United States. Five people were wounded.
The four were all convicted of five counts of
assault with a deadly weapon. The men were
sentenced to 2S-27 years in prison. Lolita Lebron
was sentenced to 16-50 years. The four were con-
victed in another trial of seditious conspiracy to
overthrow the gmernment. Six more years were
added to their sentences.
Andres Figueroa's sentence was commuted to
time served, by President Carter on October 6j 1977 ^
after doctors diagnosed his cancer as terminal. The
other four are still in prison.
COLLAZO: It's very interesting that the U.S. doesn't
admit that these people are political prisoners but
they are discriminated against in prison precisely
because of their political ideals. For example,
they cannot receive any reading material that has
anything pplitlcal. Meanwhile, the other prisoners
can. Originally only relatives could write to them.
Now, since their lawyers presented a lawsuit, they
are a little more flexible.
Whenever there was a demonstration of inmates
complaining against the treatment of prisoners, or
for example the demonstration that came as a result
of the massacre in Attica, the Puerto Rican political
prisoners would be accused of being the ones who
planned and instigated it and so on. And they would
be placed in solitary confinement.
CANCEL MIRANDA: In 1970, there was a strike Isecause
they committed what we considered a certain kind
of abuse of three of the prison workers . So they
said I was a leader and they locked me up for five
months in the hole there — from October to March.
Then in July 1972, they hit a Mexican with a
blackjack. They're not supposed to carry blackjacks
here, but a prison guard had a blackjack and hit a
Mexican in the head. So there was a protest, and
then a strike. So I went into the hole again — and
that time it was a behavior control unit for
behavior modification. I spent 17 months in that
hole. There, they try to fool with your mind. [For
example], my wife had been visiting me for many
years, but when she came to see me on our 25th anni-
versary, they clipped her hair and made her go naked.
In March 1977 ^ Cancel Miranda was allowed to
return to Puerto Hco for 7 hours for his father’s
funeral.
CANCEL MIRANDA: I went back to Puerto Rico mainly
to celebrate my father's life rather than to mourn
his death, because he was a revolutionary leader.
He was a leader in Mayaguez oi the Nationalist Party.
He survived the massacre of Ponce, where they
massacred my people in 1937. He survived the revolu-
tion in 1950. He survived the toughest penitentiary
in Puerto Rico.
This time he died defending his daughter.
Someone took aim at his stepdaughter, so he jumped
in front so that the bullet struck him, a little below
the heart. And that was it.
He was 70 years old, but he died just the way
he lived. And I went there Lso to make sure that
his burial was according to : le life he led. He was
a revolutionary, and I wanted to make sure that his
burial was a revolutionary burial.

YALE SEXUAL HARASSMENT CASE -
TO BE HEARD
NEW YORK (LNS)— The legal battle against
sex discrimination made a small but significant
step forward December 21, as a federal magistrate
let stand a suit by a Yale University student
who charged she had re'ceived a low grade in a
course because of her refusal to have sex
with her professor.
' The magistrate ruled that the allegations
of Pamela Price, a Yale senior', constituted suffi-
cient grounds for a suit. Price charged that
because she refused her professor's ^ offer of
■ an "A” in his course in return for sexual
relations with him, she received a "C" In the
same course.
■The ruling was .se.en as a major advance in
sex discrimination cases because it acknowledged
that under Title IX, which bars discrimination;
in ” any education program or activity receiving,
federal assistence", "sex harassment is ‘consider-- ■
ed sex discri-fflnat'ion," acicordlng to' Ann Simon,
■ attorney for the plantlffs. Consequently, she '
said, the heretofore untested area of education
will be recognized In cases of sax d'iscr'imination,.
The magistrate, Arthur H. Latime'f, dismissed char
ges brought by Price's five co-plaintiffs . a professor
and- four former or current women students. Their
C|harges were in Latxmer's words, untenable on
their face," "moot" or "inadequete. " The four
women students all alleged various sexual offenses
While the professor charged that" his teaching
efforts were impaired by what he called "the
atmosphere of distrust of male professors engender-
'dd by the' reputation of certain male professors
for sexually harassing women students."
Although she is"pleased with the decision" ■
overall .Simon" told LNS that there were numerous ,
examples of sexual harassment elsewhere. "I've
talked to people at lots of other colleges...
Other women are suffering the same type of
harassment and university administrations just
aren't doing anything about it."
The case i.s- pr 3;sently..,3weitiug. to go to trial.
Attorney Simon is attempting to have the case
introduced in court as a class action suit
on behalf of Pamela Price and all Yale students
who have faced sex discrimination.

TEACHING HOSPITALS VIOLATE STERILIZATION
GUIDELINES
NEW YORK (LNS)— A recent survey conducted by
the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) , a New
York-based legal and educational organization, has
revealed that many of the major teaching hospitals
in the United States are violating one or more of
the current guidelines governing sterilization
set by the Department of Health, Education and
Welfare (HEW) .
In a letter to HEW Secretary Joseph Califano,
CCR attorney Nancy Steams called the findings
' extremely disturbing' and urged that a special
monitoring system for teaching hospitals be es-
tablished to insure that they comply with the
federal guidelines.
HEW sterilization guidelines were developed
to protect against the frequent occurrence of
sterilization abuse"--where women have agrCed to
sterilizations without being informed of the con-
sequences or under threat that if they don't con-
sent to sterilization, medical services will be
denied or government benefits cut off. To guard
against this, the guidlines establish reqilir^
ments for voluntary and informed consent and a
72-hour waiting period between signature and pro-
cedure. They also require that all consent forms
clearly state that a woman will not lose government
benefits if she decides not to be sterilized.
However the results of the CCR survey showed that:
*58 pemeht of the hospitals whi^^^
to the survey obtained 'efesent for sterilization
operations at the time of admission for abortions;
*One third obtained consent during labor;
*60 percent reported no minimim age for steri-^
lization, although HEW guidelines set the minimum
age at 21; And
*30 percent use consent forms which do not
include the notice informing patients that a
decision not to be sterilized will not jeopardize
government benefits.
"Women are not being told what it's all about,"
Beth Bochnak of CCR told LNS.
And in her letter to Califano, CCR's attorney
Nancy ftsams emphasized, "Teaching hospitals should
be among the best equipped to conform to federal
policies of informed consent. As teaching hospi-
tals, not only are they setting the standards for
current medical practices, but they are also mold-
ing the attitudes and practices of this nation's
future generation. We are shocked to find that
our future physicians are being trained to dis-
regard the requirements of informed consent es^
tabllshed by HEW, particularly in an area as fun-
damental as one's reproductive ability."
CCR sent questionnaires about the HEW guide-
lines to 365 teaching hospitals, all chosen be-
cause they have full-time departmental chairpersons
who supposedly directly control and monitor the
practices of the residents and interns training
at their hospitals. Of these 365 hospitals only
64 returned completed questionnaires. However,
PAGE* 20 LIBERATION News Service (//895)
Sterns noted that in light of the degree of non—
complimtce by "even those hospitals which ex-
hibited enough interest and concern to respond,
it may well be safe to assume that those who did
not respond are even less respectful of HEW
guideline requirements."

OREGON ANTI-NUKE ACTIVISTS FIGHT
RADIOACTIVE WASTE STORAGE
NEW YORK (LNS) — "Even the most ardent advo-
cates of nuclear power will admit that waste dis-
posal is a serious unresolved problem," Chris
Attneave, a resident of Eugene, Oregon stated
recently at a hearing on proposals to expand nu-
clear waste storage at the Trojan Nuclear Power
plant. Attneave was one of 60 people from all
over Oregon who traveled to Portland January 4
to present testimony in opposition to the pro-
posal.
Portland General Electric, which owns Trojan,
wants to expand storage of spent radioactive
fuel from the four years capacity now permitted
to ten. Opponents of the plan charge that, in
light of Trojan's long history of malfunctions,
increasing storage of nuclear waste there would
seriously endanger every citizen of Oregon. It
would also, they say, "place Oregon in the posi-
tion of being a de facto permanent waste depot
for nuclear materials."
"The proposed modification is but one in a
long list of after the fact remedies apparent
in the history of nuclear technology," R.G. Wolfe,
a professor of chemistry at the University of
Oregon, stated in his testimonyo Wolfe reviewed
the failure of the nuclear industry and the
government to find a proven method for storing
radioactive waste safely. "One is reminded
of the famous Walt Disney movie, 'The Sorcerer's
Apprentice,' in which Mickey Mouse found each
of the remedies leading to more serious and
finally overwhelming problems."
For the people of Prescott, Oregon, a small
town near the Trojan plant, these problems are
too much to swallow. They expressed their fear
of nuclear waste storage in a petition presented
at the hearings by one of their citizens, Delbert
Burnham.
"This petition has practically everybody's
signature in the city of Prescott," Burnham
told the board. He also questioned whether the
waste stored at Trojan would ever be removed.
"Is this a cover-up for permanent storage?" he
asked the board. "Or is it temporary?" The
board members did not respond.
hearing testimony by the opponents of
the waste storage expansion and Portland General
Electric, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's
Atomic Safety and Licensing Board will return to
Washington D.C. to decide whether to allow the
project. But Steve McNeil, of Eugene, who also
presented testimony in opposition to the proposal,
Abked the board to return to Oregon to announce
its decision. That way the board could "respond
to the questions of the people of Oregon," he ex-
plained, Indicating that he shares the general

SQUATTERS, WORKERS BATTLE
NEW REPRESSIVE LAW IN BRITAIN
by Perry Shearwood
LONDON (LNS) -- A tough new law directed
against squatters^ trade unionists and students
has already claimed its first victim in Britain.
A young student squatter, Alan Beddoe, was arrested
in early December aS police and bailiffs evicted
squatters in the South London community of Batter-
sea. Charged under Section 10 of the new Criminal
Trespass Laws, Beddoe faces a maximum six months
ijiq)risonment and a $2000 fine.
The new laws — which took effect on Deeeinber
1 give the police and courts greatly increased
powers to stop "illegal occupations .v" Police are
now allowed to bre^ into any building to search
for and arrest anyone whom they believe has
committed an offense under the act. They don't
even need to bother about obtaining a warrant.
In addition, the court procedures for evict-
ing squatters have been streamlined. It is now a
criminal offense to refuse to vacate a squat once
the owner has fulfilled certain conditions. Pre-
viously this was a civil offense. Obstructing a
police officer or bailiff, even by passive
resistance, has also been transformed into a
criminal offense. And all these criminal
offenses will now be tried in magistrate's court,
thus denying the defendant the ojiportunity of a
jury trial.
The harsh new law was enacted at a tinje when
England faces an acute housing shortage and more
and more people are turning to squatting. Beddoe,
for instance, arrived as a student at Goldsmiths
College to find hin^ elf at the bottom of a 4,000-
name waiting list for student accomodations. With
at least a year to wait for any student housing
and even the cheapest apartments renting at
rates that would soak up more than 60 percent
of the government grant on which most British
students subsist, Beddoe had little choice about
where to live. He joined dozens of other people,
students and non-students, squatting in a street
of empty, government -owned houses. And when
months of negotiations failed to produce a compro-
mise between the Battersea Tenants Association
and the local government coimcil, he barricaded
himself inside one of the houses along:’ with the
other squatters until 40 policemen and sledge-
hammer wielding bailiffs managed to drag them out.
Students aren 't the only people in Britain
who have turned to squatting. In fact, they are
a distinct minority. A research report published
in June 1977 found that most squatters were
families with children and a majority were employed
in some kind of manual labor. Contrary to news ^
paper caricatures of them as vandals, squatters
were found to have made- major or minor repairs
on three quarters of the houses they occupied.
Page 21
But facts like these have not deterred papers
like the daily Telegraph from labeling squatters as
"organized gangs of thugs, layabouts and revolu-
tionary fanatics." Nor have they prevented the
government from pressing ahead with its tough new
law — even as 50 ,000 officially registered homeless
families are put up in costly hotels at government
expense while 850,000 houses in Britain stand empty
and unused.
The dangers of the new law extend well beyond
its use against squatters like Alan Beddoe. The
definition of "illegal occupations" can also be
applied to workers who use the often effective tactic
of occupying their factory during labor disputes,
and to students who take over a university building.
Passed with the combined siq>port of Britain:' s
two major political parties, the law has brought
together a broad range of groups in opposition.
Trade unionists, the London Squatters Union, student
groups and others opposed to this new measure of
repression have formed the Canqjaign Against a Crimi-
nal Trespass Law. They are organizing to fight
for repeal of the law and in support of Alan Beddoe
and others against whom it is used.

literature right under the noses of women coming
into the clinic, screaming at them, ’You’re
killing your babieSo’
"Two of the women (patients) were really
upset," she continued„ "They started crying
and left „ You see, for a lot of women the de-
cision to have an abortion is not an easy one„
And to hear something like this, they already
feel guilty and this reenforces those feelings «»,"
The early morning invasion was hardly
spontaneous, Thomas stressed to LNS,. As ®^i“ly
as 7:45 that morning, clinic staffmembers were
informed hy police that the Right- to-Life demon-
strators would sit-in and be arrested and that
TV cameras and crews would be arriving to capture
some of the action „
'!It was.all a contrived ■ thing to get TV and
newspaper coverage," Th mas told LNS„ "The
media went along with it„ And the cops went along
with it„^. Several cop cars were out there waiting
when the Right -to -Lifers arrived, but they
didn't do anything until the captain arrived
about a half hour later with back-up crews and,
of course, the TV cameras »"
It was at that point that the police captain
went into the clinic and informed the demonstrators
that they must leave or be arrestedo Several who
refused to leave will go before a hearing January
30 on criminal trespass charges,,
The incident at the CRASH clinic was not
an isolated one o While the New York City clinic
was being invaded, several other clinics around
the country. were targets of. similar actions--
apparently all part of a coordinated strategy by
the Right-to-Life forces to make test cases of
these kinds of actions „
Recently in Virginia a group of Right-to-
Lifers forced their way into a procedure room and
were actually. able to disrupt an abortion then
going on, A Virginia judge. cleared them of
criminal trespass charges, claiming that thefr
action was legal since they b,ad reason to fear
that life was being endangered,
"Of course they’ll never get that kind of
a ruling in New York City," predicted Becky Stanton

Sterilization Abuse (CARASA) — one of many grmps J
around the country which have recently formed in ^
response to attacks on Medicaid abortions, ""But
I think that’s what they're trying for,"
Meanwhile Stanton said that CARASA is planning
on organizing "flying squads" of women who could
be called in the event of another incident of this
sort--wmen who would report immediately to the
clinic vinder attack, set up counter-pickets, help
escort wmen into the clinic and counsel patients
inside,
"That would be terrific," nurse administrator
Thomas told LNS, when asked what she thought of
the idea, "I’m sure the Right -to-Lifers will be
back, I don't see them giving up,"

CHEMICAL WORKERS EXPOSED TO
CANCER -CAUSING SUBSTANCE
NEW YORK (LNS) --The Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) recently issued an
emergency order requiring a drastic cut in worker
exposure to acs^lonitrile , a con5)oundl widely used
in the production of synthetic tioer and a broad
range of other products.
The substance is believed to be the cause of
an unusually high rate of lung and colon cancer
found in a survey of workers at a Du Pont plant
in Camden, South Carolina,
OSHA estimates that 10,000 UoS, workers have
been directly exposed to the dangerous substance and
125,000 other workers have been exposed to lesser
degrees. About 1„5 billion pounds of acrylonitrile
are produced in the United States each year.
Two of the major producers of the substance,
the Monsanto Company in St. Louis and Vistron, a ( T
Cleveland subsidiary of Standard Oil, are planning
to file suits against the government in order q
to halt enforcement of the order, according to the
Associated Press, On January 16, the day the order
was released, a Monsanto spokesperson said the
company would contend that the chemical represents
no clear, innnediate and grave danger to employees.
Other companies producing the substance
include American Cyanamid, Dow Chemical, Eastman
Kodak and Badisfebe,

SHAH’S WIFE, PROTHC JED BY 2,500 N.Y.C. POLICE^
MEETS MILITiUST. PROTEST IN U.S. VISIT
by Frank Forrestal
NEW YORK (LNS)^-On January 12 over 1,000
Iranian students stage# a militant demonstra-
tion in front of the New York Hilton, protesting
the visit of Empress Farah, wife of the Shah of
Iran.
The Farah waa the honored guest at the
twenty-first anniversary celebration of the
Asia Society, a well-known right-wing cultural
organization founded by John D. Rockefeller. At
this annual fundraiser were some of the most
powerful members of the U.S. ruling class, in-
cluding Henry Kissinger, former Director of the
CIA Richard Helms, Nelson Rockefeller, John D.
Rockefeller, and the presidents of the largest
U.S. oil companies.
Outside the Hilton, a long line of barri-
cades backed by hundreds of riot-equipped po-
licemen separated the anti-Shah Iranian Student
Association from several hundred "pro- Shah" peo-
ple. Pro-Shah gpMips have been organized for
years in other countries and recently in the U.S.
by the Iranian secret police (SAVAK) . The pro-
Shah group outside the Hilton included mainly
Iranian businessmen and military personnel
training in the U.S., as well as members of the
U.S., European and Iranian branches of SAVAK.
In what appeared to be the largest show of
force ever gathered for an Iranian demonstration,
over 2,500 New York City policemen were also sta-
tioned around the Hilton. They were out on the
streets by 3 pm to prepare for the evening event,
reportedly after viewing films of the recent
9000-strong protest in Washington, D.C. It was
clear that the large show of force was a reaction
to the D.C. clashes during the Shah's November
visit. Inside the Hilton the Arson and Explosive
Squad and over 200 New York police officials pro-
vided security for the event.
While Iranian,' students outside the Hilton
shouted "Down, Down with the Fascist Farah,"
the Farah' s lengthy speech inside was interrupted
six times by members of the audience. One
woman, dressed in an evening gown, soreaped, ,
"twenty— six people were killed in Iran last year.
The Shah is a murderer. Down with the Shah."
She was immediately dragged from the room by
six security guards.
Following this outburst, a member of Clergy
and Laity Concerned sprang to his feet and be-
gan yelling, "The Shah is a murderer. I was just
in Iran. I saw a woman with cigarette burns from
being tortured." He too was roughly dragged by
security agents from the room. Several other
persons present voiced their protests against
the Shah's repressive regime. Meanwhile a hand-
ful of Iranian students were arrested for trying
to get inside.
Several international human rights organiza-
tions have condemned the Shah's regime as the
worst violator of htiman rights In the world. Dur
ing the past few months demonstrations against
FAGtr ’H’ LIBERATIoi' News Service (#895)
the Shah have taken place In every major city
in Iran. All the demonstrations have been met
by a brutal onslaught coordinated by' SAVAK and
the Iranian police. Over the last three months,
67 demonstrators have been killed there, and
hundreds have been arrested.

PROTESTS ERUPT IN NICARAGUA AFTER SLAYING
OF OPPOSITION LEADER
NEW YORK (LNS)—Large scale protests broke
out in the Central American country of Nicaragua
January. 12 following the slaying of Pedro Joaquin
Chamorro Cardenal, editor of the country's sole
opposition newspaper and well— known political
opponent of the Somoza government.
More than 30,000 people attended Chamorro's
funeral two days after he was shot .repeatedly
by three men who forced his car to the curb in
the capital city of Managua.
At least and possibly as many as five
people were kill(ed .and more, than twenty injured
during clashes with heavily armed National Guards-
men positioned near the cemetery' during the funer-
al. Witnesses reported that the guardsmen fired
tear gas and machine guns Into the crowd. Over
130 were arrested. The initials of the Nicara-
guan guerrilla group, the Frente Sandinista de
Liberacion National (FSLN) were written in blood
outside th ceffieiery. During protests the night ,
before the funeral, five factories and two banks—
including a branch of Citibank— were burned.
The killing and subsequent protests come
in the wake of a series of strong challenges to
the Somoza regime within the past four months.
A major guerrilla offensive was launched by the
Sandlnlstas in mid-October end disputes withan
the ruling family erupted after President Anasta-
sia Somoza was hospitalized. Opposition in-
tellectuals 5 -buslnessmer. and clergy organized
and spoke o'ut more loudly against the regime.
Twelve such people published an appeal in Cha-
morro's paper, La Prensa^ calling on "all consci-
entious Nicaraguans" to unite in opposition to
the "repressive forces of tte dynastic govern-
ment." The letter stateds "a solution that will
guarantee a permanent peace cannot be achieved
without the participation of FSLN."
The statement was printed shortly after
martial law and three years of strict censorship
were lifted. During tt.',. past several months
Chamorro and a, coallt ioxi he headed, the Democratic
Liberation Union, campaigned for the freedom of
prisoners being held without trial. Chamorro
himself had been jailed four times by the Somoza
regime,

LNS NEWS Al^ALYSIS :
■U.S. ROLE, ISRAELI INTERESTS IN THE SINAI
by Frank Forres tal
LIBERATION News Service
WASHINGTON, D.C. (LNS) — In the wake of
Egyptian President Sadat's trip to Jerusalem and
the subsequent talks held in Ismalia, Egypt, it now
seems clear that the outcome will be, if ahything,
a separate peace agreement between Egypt and Israel.
An examination of the last such agreement suggests
that one Important by-product would be a quantum
leap in direct U.S. military and technical involve-
ment.
The central conflict in the Middle East --
the right of Palestinian self-determination versus
Zionist expansionism on their land — is not being
solved in the current negotiations. The Pales-
tinians' representative, the Palestine Liberation
Organization, has been excluded from the talks.
And the U.S. and Egyptian governments are going i
along with Israel's position which precludes the
right of the Palestinians to form an Independent
Palestinian state.
As a result, Egypt has forfeited much of its
claim to be representing overall Arab Interests,
including those of the Palestinians, Therefore,
Israeli withdrawal from the Egyptian Sinai is
expected to be more possible to negotiate than
any withdrawal from the Palestinian West Bank and
Gaza Strip. (Israel has occupied all these areas,
along with the Syrian Golan Heights, since the 1967
Middle East war.)
Yet even an Israeli withdrawal from occqpled
Sinai is fraught with thorny problems dictated by
decades of expanslonllt policies. The Ideological
underpinnings of Israeli Prime Minister Menachem
Begin's Likud Party, combined with Israeli per-
ceptions of security, oil interests, and militant
settlement plans, have come together to forge an
Intractable force that may well abort even a
sepaijate peace agreement with Egypt. And the
history of past negotiations indicates that both
sides may look to a massive injection of U.S. per-
sonnel and equipment as the only way to salvage
anything.
Israeli Military Interests
The prospect that Israel will withdraw from
Sinai poses major strategic and logistical problems,
according to Israeli military officials. Since the
1973 war, Israel has moved its militaiTr supply
bases, including four air bases, from Inside the
lands Israel has held since 1948 to "forward bases"
closer to the borders of the newly colonized
land. (Prior to the 1973 war, Israel transported
its military supplies and troops from the Negev -
region.) Colonization of Arab land has brought
with it a "several 100 percent"increase in Israel's
armed forces. Consequently, Israel maintains
"huge forces" in Sinai, the West Bank and Gaza .
Israeli hawks are loath to relocate their
early warning station at Umm Hashiba and their
military base at Refidlm — a former Egyptian
base which has grown considerably since the 1967
war. Israel has also committed itself to main-
taining a large air base in the northern region of
Rafiah. Moreover. Sinai has served as an
PAGE 24 LIBERATION News Service
training ground for Israel's Armoured and Artillery
Corps and for testing newly acquired military equip-
ment. : _
/ ’ , ^ Israel's Oil Interests
Israel has increased its stakes in the Sinai
even further when it discbvered oil fields at El Tur
in the Gulf of Suez and in northern Sinai near
El-Artsh. Up until now Israel has had to depend
on Mexico and Iran for its- imported crude oil.
The new oil discovery at ET^ur may prove to be
a large oil field which could satisfy 35-40% Of
Israel's oil needs. A U.S. -based but Panamanian-
registered oil company, Moncrief International, is
carrying out the drilling under a contract with the
Israeli government. It is widely beiieved that
Moncrief International is a cover for one or even a
few of the "seven sisters" (the seven major oil com-
panies which, control most oil production throughout
the Middle East and the world. By camoflaging their
involvement any of the seven sisters involved could
get around Arab boycott regulations which nrevent
commercial ties with Israel ) Since it is registered
in Panama, Moncrief Intiernational is sheltered by
Panamanian corporate laws that provide relative
protection against internal auditing of corporations.)*^
Neptun, an Israeli oil company, has also been
drilling for oil in the El TuFarea. Most of the
capital for the drilling has been supplied by U.S.
companies and an Israeli firm called Yardin. The
latter firm has very strong connections with Begin's
government. In the past 20 months, Yardin shares
have risen in value by more than 400 percent.
In northern Sinai, the UoS. -based Western Desert
Oil Qompany is exploring for oil and natural gas
reserves in the Bardawill lagoon. Similarly Western
Desert is registered in Panama. Further explorations
are. being carried out by a Canadian firm (with no
Arab cbnhections) and a British firm along the Medi-
terranean shores.
Meanwhile, Israel has stepped up its drilling
in the Sinai,
Israeli Settlements
During the decade that it has occupied the Sinai,
Israel? has followed its long-held policy of strengthen-
ing its presence on occupied lands by establishing
military and civilian settlements there.
Israeli set;£lements in the Sinai resemble an
arc that extends from the Rafiah Approaches (recent-
ly renamed Yamit region) in northern Sinai to the
Tur settlement in the Gulf of Suez.
For the past few years Israel's military has
destroyed Bedouin homes, schools and mosques in this
region. Thousands of Bedouins have been forcibly
evicted from their land ^ moved to designated fenced-
off areas, and in many cases rehired at low wages to
work for Israeli industries on their confiscated
lands.
Begin's Minister of Agriculture General Ariel
Sharon, who along with Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan
for years spearheaded the movement to colonize
Bedouin lands, is now Seeking to establish 24 new
settlements in the Rafiah region of Sinai. Twenty
of these settlements would be military-manned out-
posts (nahals).
Begin's cabinet has barred these new settle-
ments for the time being but has, on the.oth®e hand,
encouraged settlers to beef up the already existing
(#895) January 20, 1978 more...
settlements in northern Sinai o
Sharon sanctioned the clearing of Bedouin
homes for eight now settlements between EI-Arish
and the Gaza Strip in early January* Settlements
along the coastal road to. Sharm el Sheikh, at the
southern tip of the Sinai peninsula are also now
being built. Almost $25 million has been ear-
marked by the Israeli government for these new
settlements.,
Begi|i*s Plan for the Sinai
Prime Minister Beginis plan for the Sinai
calls for a, two -St age withdrawal. Immediate with-
drawal to a line extending from El-Arish in, the ,
Mediterranean to thn Gulf of Aqaba in the south,
and then down, the coast to Ras Mohammed, at the
southern tip. of the peninsulao Secondly , a total
withdrawal in three to five years to the 1967
international boundary.
The twor-stage withdrawal is contingent upon
three Israeli stipulations: territory returned
to Egypt must be demilitarized, Egypt will not
be allowed to move, eastward beyond the Gidi and
Mit la line, and E©fpt must unilaterally reduce
its forces. Underlying all of this is the assimp-
tion that the U.S. will provide the people and
instruments to police, the demilitarized zone.
In the transition- period, Israel will main-
tain airbasea, armed forces and an. early warning
system on .the-El-Arish. line. Israel is also
trying to hold on to Sharm El Sheikh., a strategic
military outpost which directly, controls access
to both the Gulf , of Aqaba, and the Gulf of Suez .
Israel has proposed to seek a lease for Sharm el
Sheikh from Eg>pt and/or to hand Sharm el Sheikh
over to the U.S. CJ®zwaZem Post, 12-27-77) .
Begin, has. pledged that in. any. agreement the
settlements, in, Sinai will"be linked to Israeli
administration and law" and that I'they will be
defended by Israeli force." Preliminary plans
are also being, made for U.E. "units" and U.N .
forces to provide, security for Israeli settlements.
According to press reports here and in Israel, the
settlements would probably eventually fall under
Egyptian sovereignty, but be protected by joint
Israeli-U.S. police forces. This has caused an
outburst from settlers in Sinai and from the
fanatical Israeli nati<s}a4ist group, Gush Emunim,
which insists on Israeli sovereignty over all the
occupied territories. (In the West Bank, Gush
Emunim is going. ahead with new settlements —
at Shilo, Haris and ElonMoreh.)
Begin's proposal for the Sinai, particularly
his desire to maintain control of Sharm el Sheikh
and the settlements in northam Sinai with Israeli
forces, isuhacceptable to the Egyptians, Nego-
tiations on the withdrawal are now underway in
Cairo by the joint Egypt-Israel military committee
set ip at the Ismailia meeting.
Sinai Field Mission and U.S. Role
One thing that is clear in the current nego-
tiations in the Middle East is the large role ,
played by the U.S. government. In the Sinai,
this role goes beyond international negotiating
and involves the U.S. mi lit ary /industrial complex
itself. As a result of. the last Israeli -Egyptian
PAGE .25 LIBERATION News Service (i
agreement, the second disengagement agreement of
1975, a U.Si "warning station" was set up in the
western Sinai. Both Israel and Egypt have a surveil-
Ipice station in the U.S. -monitored bu^fpr zone.
Initially, Israel proposed that American troops
be stationed in the Sinai to provide security for
Israel. This proposal was rejected by Secretary of
State Henry Kissinger in order to avoid public
protest in the aftermath of the war in Indochina.
It was then decided by Israel "to give the Americans
something that did not seem like a military mission."
In the agreement, the Israeli government made the
smallest concession of territory it could but in
return received increased American economic and
military assistance.
In compensation for withdrawal from the
strategic mountain passes and the oil fields at Abu
Rude is , the U.S. government gave Israel $2 billion
in military and economic. aid. Moreover, Kissinger
made a secret commitment to "maintain Israel's
defense"vwith the most sophisticated weaponry and
not to recognize the PLO until it accepts the
legitimacy of the state of Israel. There is strong
reason to believe that a large portion of the
weaponry included sophisticated anti-guerrilla
warfare equipment .
Electronic Battlefield
Under the auspices of the U.S. , the Sinai
Field Mission (SFM) was established in western Sinai
to monitor and police through an elaborate electronic
battlefield all movements on land and air by Israel
and Egypt. There are now 47 electronic battlefield
stations, all in the Israeli -occupied zone east of ■
the buffer zone.
The U.S, contracted with two U.S. -based firms,
E-Systems and the Mitre Corporation, to set x;p
and run the U.S. warning station. E -Systems has
for years supplied the CIA and National Security
Agency (NSA) with sophisticated communications
equipment and electronic warfare technology. In
1972 the Department of Defense accounted for 90
percent of E -Systems' contracts; today this propor-
tion has declines to 55 percent as sales to other
agencies and foreign governments have increased .t
E-Systems' special communications and electronic
intelligence devices are also vised for domestic
repression by U.S, and Latin American law enforce-
ment agencies .
Mitre, like E -Systems , specializes in the manu-
facture of repressive technology. Domestically,
Mitre is a large supplier of police equipment to
the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration and
has contracts with the U.S. military for communica-
tions and information systems and military
engineering.
Almost all of Mitre' s en^iloyees have at one
time been employed with U.S. intelligence agencies.
Besides developing covin ter- insurgency technology.
Mitre has published extensive intelligence reports
on national liberation movements throughout the
world. The PLG has been a major concern of Mitre.
U.S. "Technicians"-- Military Personnel
Although Congress stipulated that no intelli-
gence and military personnel would be allowed in
Sinai, government reports have shown that most of
95) January 20, 1978 more...
the U.S. technicians were trained, and some may
still be employed by the Department of Defense
(DOD) and U*S. intelligence agencies.
The latest Sinai Support Mission report to
Congress* in October 1977, reinforces this view,
arguing that the restriction against employing DOD
and intelligence personnel is discriminatory to
a number of Americans seeking employment in the
Sinai, "Most applicants for positions as sensor
technicians or communicators," it states, "tend
to be former military personnel." It recommends
that the only restriction on employment in the
Sinai be against "persons who have served on
active military duty been employed by the DOD
or a U.S, foreign Intelligence gathering agency
within one year from the date of hire, or selection."
This loosening of restrictions coincides
with suggestions that -this U.S. presenco in the
Middle East may be prolonged and e>:panded
significantly. The system was Originally
planned to last three years; a GAO report now
suggests that American involvement will continue
indefinitely.
The same source also notes that "one senior
Israeli official has already suggested that the
SFM could serve as a model for use in other
Mideast trouble spots, such as the Golan Heights
or the -West Bank." Sinai Support Mission Director
Constantine William Kontos confirms elsewhere that
"some very preliminary thought about sensors and
patrol techniques'' has been discussed as "part
of a possible Arab-Israeli agreement being
debated in Geneva,"
If the. current Middle East negotiations do
lead to further Israeli withdrawals it seems
quite likely that as compensation this highly
sensitive American presence will multiply to the
thousands. This in turn could easily lead to
direct American combat involvement in any future
hostilities,

HISTORIANS SIY NO TO RADICAL PROFESSOR
NEW YORK (LNS) — Yale University's image as
a liberal institution was sullied last year
when the school's history department refused to
sponsor a teaching appointment for Communist
scholar Herbert Aptheker. Now, to add insult
to inj ury, a. committee of U.S, historians endorsed
Yale's position on January 14 ,
Prompted by the protests, of five historians
who criticised the history, department 's decision,
a joint committee of the American Historical
Association and the Organization of American
Historians probed the controversy for one year
and finally made its decision.

History department officials reportedly had
refused to sponsor Aptheker 's seminar on the
life of W,E,B, DuBois after criticising some
of his study methods. But Aptheker' s supporters
claimed that the decision was based on his po-
litical philosophy.

MASS PROTESTS HIT SHAM REFERENDUM IN CHILE
NEW YORK (LNS) —A referendum staged by
Chilean President August o Pinochet gave Chileans
the choice of voting for the '^dignity' of
Chile" and the "legitimacy of the government"
outlined under the comitry's flag, or for "inter-
national aggression" J-under a black flag of
anarchism.
Pinochet received a 77% vote of confidence
January 4, after barraging Chileans with ads in
the press and leaflets dropped from air planes.
The vote itself was conducted and counted solely
by government agents who had no way of confirming
voter eligibility since the military burned
all voting records in the 1973 coup.
The vote was held shortly after the United N
Nations passed a resolution condemning Chile's i
military rule, and was used by Pinochet as ,a_
pretext for continuing internal political re-
pression, Following the election, Pinochet
announced at a "victory" rally : "No more elec-
tions or voting for ten years.'*
While the"plebiscite" gave little indica-
tion of the widespread opposition to Pinochet's rl
rule, the reaction in the streets of Chile did
just that. The two week period between the
announcement of the vote and the vote itself saw
the first sustained mass protests in Chile in
the four years since the coup. Chileans marched
through the cities chanting "Freedom."' "Chile,
yes , junta no.'"
A statement published by the Chilean MIR
(Movement of the Revolutionary Left) said of
the referendum:
"No one can bestow credibility on the 'Pin-
ochet plebiscite' since to do so would be to
support the silence of the dictatorship about
the 2,500 people who have disappeared, the assass-
inations and tortures by the ex-DINA (secret po-
lice, now called CIN) , the situation of the hun-
dreds of political prisoners, the policy of super-
exploitation, unenq>loyment and miseiy of the
masses. If the Chilean people could choose
today between military dictatorship and freedom,
they would sweep away the junta and with it the
powerful national and foreign corporation owners
it serves,
"The masses have no other road than that which
they are following: to organize themselves to
overthrow the dictatorship and freely elect a pop-
ular and revolutionary democratic government, with
the participation of all the forces that contribute
actively to the overthrow of the military junta. ''

i^LITICAL UPRISINGS ERODE SOUTH AFRICAN ECONOMY
NEW YORK (Southern Africa/LNS)--A few years
, ago the headlines would have been as shrill. .as„the
attacks would have been extraordinary. But not .
any more. After more than a year and a half. of.
school boycotts, demonstrations and daily clashes
between angry blacks and police, bombs - and arson
have also become an acknowledged element of daily
life in South Africa. And reports in the South
African press are almost laconic; ’K!|^e bombing—
Two security guards were allegedly held down by
students while a petrol bomb was tossed into the
Bantu Administration Board Building in Zwelitsha
near King William's town last night;" "Pamphlet
bombs explode in City;" "Blast outside Johannesburg
police station;" "Blast in train: guard hurt;"
"Bomb blast at Carlton."
The last three headlines all hit the newsj* ^
stands during a single week. In the first two
weeks of December, four bombing attacks were re-
ported in the Johannesburg area alone. And with
such episodes now a standard part of the political
landscape, the question addressed with increasing
candor by the captains of South African government
and industry is how the once-proud economy can hold
vq).
"The insurance industry and the Government
have had high-level talks on the possibility of
setting up a national riot or urban terrorism fund,"
The Star reported in late November. "Insurance
spokesmen said the potential for loss by con|>anies
was 'astronomical' and for this reason firms were
unwilling to offer riot coverage. Another executive
said pluntly:- '^We don't see ourselves offering
urban terrorism cover."'
Insurance may be one of- the lesser worries
besetting the South African, economy. But it is
syi^tomatic. So. was a 50 -page supplement put out
hy the F inanpidl M.a£l, South Africa's equivalent
of the Wail Street Journal, on November 10— its
cover featuring the word SECURITY in two-inch high
red- letters , right below the fangs of a snarling
attack dog.
"There are still people who think that the
'troubles that first bubbled over in Soweto last
year will go away > when the evidence is that they
could get far worse before they get better," the
supplement 's forward warned. The next 49 pages of
aidvice on alarm systems, gims, private guard ser-
vices and various gadgets make it clear that "the
evidence" has created at least one new growth
industry.
But the rest of the. economy is not flourish-
ing. The signs for the future are not auspicious.
And the growth of black resistance to apartheid is
reflected in the statistics about rising inflation
(11 percent for 19:77) and sinking profits.
It shows also. in the unsettled mood of major
sectors of South African industry and consumers.
As , for instance, when one newspaper headlines
"Swingabout in migration hits house building."
With whites no longer flocking to the comtry at

Tbe, inj>act of political resistance shows
even, more in the increasing pressure from abroad,
as. the. United. Naticais serious ly contempl ates an
oiL embargo and, major corporations talk about
cutting bait.
South African officials , in response, boast
bravely about, stockpiles of oil and the wonders
of coal gasification. But independent researcher
Bernard Rivers, sounds considerably more convincing
when he estimates that no more than six to nine
months' supply of oil has been stored.
Officials also make a point of shrugging .
off recent announcements by several western
companies that they are pulling back from further
involvement in South Africa. But the changing
climate seems clear as Polaroid announces an
end to its vaunted "experiment" and a vice presi-
dent of Citibank proclaims, "We are certainly
not going to put any new money in there." Only
last spring Citibank was annointed as South
Africa's most inportant and faithful U.S, banking
ally, after Chase Manhattan showed signs of
getting cold feet.
Talk is cheap. Corporations have always;
shown a willingness to indulge in a little from
time to time . , . as long as they could also
indulge in cheap South African labor and spectac-
liLar South African profit margins., But statistics
.suggest that at least some corporations may now
be reevaluating their positions.
According to a major study by the U.S. Con-
-gressional Research Service released in early De-
ceinber, U.S. corporations which formerly plowed
60 percent of their South African earnings back
into increased investments in apartheid are now
shipping 65 percent of their profits home. The
study predicts that power and transport will be
the first sectors of the South African e con ony to
falter because of a shortage of foreign capital.
And that this in turn will make investment in
mines and factories less attractive.
The dollars are not coming back to the U.S.
because corporate managers have suddenly been
afflicted by pangs of conscience after years of
reaping profits from white supremacy. A Univer- -
sity of Delaware study suggests quite another
reason. Ranking coiHitries aroiaid the world on
a "political risk index" for prospective investors,
the study shows South Africa plxammeting froln the
"moderate risk" deep into the "prohibitive risk"
category over the next three to seven years.
U.S. activists who have long called on
American corporations to leave South Africa are
currently mounting a nationwide caB|)aign focusing
on general economic disengagement. They are
beginning to find an unlikely but powerful ally
in the figures now turning i;p on the pages of the
financial press .

MISSISSIPPI ACLU DROPS KLAN CASE
NEW YORK (LNS) —While Ku Klux Klan leaders
are gloating that they have provoked a heiniiiorage of
support from the American Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU) , one deep south ACLU chapter has broken ranks
with the national policy of handling KKK cases.
The Mississippi chapter of the ACLU has
decided no'- to :ake a case defending the Klan' s
right to hold an "Americanism rallv" at a
Gulfport, Mississippi high scbooli However, the
national office of the ACLU, which has the pre-
rogative to take up any case an affiliate rejects,
may represent the Klan Instead, according to the
organization's legal director in New York,
Dick Johnson, president of the ACLU' s Missis-
sippi chapter told LNS that his affiliate was com-
pelled to change its mind due to pressure fr<Hn
the Gulfport school board and local high school
students who opposed Klan activity at the high
school. He also cited the resignation of 10 of the
Mississippi chapter's 21 state board members
following a prior decision to defend the Klan, as
a contributing factor in the decision. The ACLU's
natlotial board will decide soon whether the national
office will take the case.
But there are indications that this decision
may be a foregone conclusion. Bruce Ennis, ACLU
Legal Director, told LNS that not only does he
believe the ACLU should support the Klan in this
case, but "most of the national leadership believe
the ACLU should take that case."
"If free speech means anything," Ennis told
LNS, "it means any free speech. We believe every-
one has the right to express an opinion."
Moreover, Mississippi chapter president Johnson
told LNS he'd have no qualms if the national office
decided to defend the Klan. "I feel the national
office could legitimately determine that first amend-
ment rights were primary. I personally would have no
real problems with that decision."
In any event, Ennis says that the ACLU's firm
support of the Klan's rights will ultimately ettract
support for his organization rather than lose it.
"In the long run it will not hurt us but help us,"
he said, "for the public will realize that the ACLU
is a principled organization" which will not be com-
promised.
Up to now this has not been the case. Th
ACLU's legal support for the Klan has triggered
vehement criticism, a severe drop in financial
contributions and mass resignations— 3,000 in the
past five months.
And in a Christmas letter mailed to Klan
supporters, Klan national director David Duke
credits his organization for much of the ACLU's
decline in support. Citing the ACLU's legal defense
of the Klan's organizing of white marines at Camp
Pendleton, Calif, and elsewhere, Duke boasts that
the Klan has "caused the basically anti-white ACLU
to lose 40 percent of their support", and chalks
this up as one of the Klan's major accomplishments
for 1977.
Many people have agreed that the Klan's real
purpose in using the ACLU is to destroy it. Still
others have argned tL- *- the issue is not the Klan's
right to speak freely but its unsavory history of
publicly advocating and often fostering racial
violence and mayhem.

BRITISH JUDGE CONDONES ^CIST REMARP
NEW YORK (LNS) — The right-wing movement in
Britain claimed another victory in January in its
accelerating campaign to stir up animosity against
nonwhites and immigrants in the country. The head
of the British judiciary refused to dismiss a
criminal court judge who ruled that the use of ra-
cial epithets in public speeches is not unlawful,
but a right of free speech. The judicial head
made this decision in the face of demands for the
judge's ouster made by more than 100 members of Par-
liament and religious and community groups and
despite Britain's law specifically banning "incite-
ment to racial hatred."
The controversy eruptec as Judge Neil
McKinnon presided over the trial of John Kingsley
Read, a former leader of the racist National Front
Party, and now the head of an equally reactionary
group, the Democratic National Party. Read was
charged under the statute outlawing "incitement
to racial hatred" for a public speech in which he
lambasted nonwhite Immigration and urged repatri-
ation of immigrants already in the country. He was
acquitted by the jury.
In charging the jury, McKinnon said that use
of the words "niggers, wogs and coons" b> the
defendant (or by anyone else, he implied) in a
public speech was not a violation of the law. The
Australian-born judge said that the charge against
Read dealt ^rf.th instigators attempting to whip up
hatred but not with exhortations aimed at "stemming
immigration or advocating repatriation." Since
practically all nonwhites in Bifitain are relatively
recent immigrants, most racist attacks are carried
out in the name of "stemming immigration." So the
judge's interpretation would appear to make the
law virtually unenforceable.
On the othe. hand, those who oppose Judge
McKinnon contend that Read's praise of the killing
of an Asian youth by another Asian youth, as "one
down and a million to go", in his speech, was clear-
ly an incitement to racial hatred.
Read asserted at the trial that he really meant
no harm in his speech. He said that he used offen-
sive words in a humorous vein. The audience laughed
at them, he said, and no violence followed.
"In this England of ours at this momentwe are
allowed to have our own views still, thank goodness,
McKinnon told the jury. "And long may it last."
In dismissing the case. Judge McKinnon said to Read:
"I wish you well."
Members of Parliament who signed a mo tion de-
mandlng the judge's remoYal joined many other cit--
Izens in Britain who denounced the judge and called
his statements ""an affront to human rights." .

HEW PRESENTS NEW S.:EERILIZATI0N GUIDELINES;
HEARINGS SCHEDULED THROUGHOUT COUNTRY
\,Note to Bditovt : To help groupe and indi-

list of the dates and places of the hearings.

NEW YORK (LNS)“*U:^der pressure from women's
and Third World groups .ieficmed to end widespread
sterilization abuse, the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare (HEW) has recently pro-
posed a new set of guidelines for federally-
funded sterilizations.
Although containing certain weaknesses, the
regulations are seen by most groups as "a real
victory" — "an enormous step forward" for poor
and Third World women who have long been targets
of coerced sterilization.
The New Regulations
The purpose of the new rules is to prevent
situations in which patients decide to have steri-
lization operations because they lack adequate
information about alternatives, fear reprisals
such as the withholding of welfare benefits or
medical care, or give consent under coercion.
According to the proposed rules, a person
considering being sterilized must be given the
following information orally:
1) Advice that she or he is free to withhold
or withdraw consent to the procedure at any time
prior to the sterilization: without affecting her
or his right to future care or treatment, and
without the loss or withdrawal of any federally-
funded benef its to i^^ch the person might be
otherwise entitled;
2) a description of available alternative
methods of family planning and birth control;
3^ a full description of the benefits or
advantages she or he may expect to gain from the
Sterilization;
4) Advice that the procedure is irreversible;
5) A thorough explanation of the specific
sterilization procedure to be performed;
6) A full description of the discomfort
and risks Which may accompany and follow the pro-
cedure including an explanation of the type and
possible effects of any anaesthetic to be used;
7) Advice that the sterilization will not
be performed for at least 30 days from the oral
consent;
8) An opportunity to ask and have answered
any questions she/he may have concemlng the
procedure.
Authorized consent forms must be used to
ensure that the required information is actually
communicated to the patient and that the patient’s
consent ^involuntary . The rules propose that the
consent form should be in the primary language of
the patient, and, if it is not, that an Interpretor
be made available to assist th individual. (There
is, however, no provision that the counseling for
sterilization be conducted in the patient's pri-
mary language.)
The proposed guidelines also establish special
procedural protections for groups particularly
vulnerable to coercion — mental incompetents and
people in mental, correctional or other institu-
tions.
The new rules will govern only federally ■
funded sterilization, but it is expected that they
will be made applicable to programs where HEW per-
sonnel actually perform sterilizations — such
aS; the Indian Health Service — by administrative
directive.
Guideline Weaknesses
A lack of adequate monitoring and enforcement
provisions is the central weakness of
the proposed regulations, according to Committee
to End Sterilization Abuse spokesperson Keren Stamm.
In its comments on the guidelines, the Center for
Constitutional Rights (CCR) urges yearly inspection
of the consent forms by federal personnel; and
periodic inspections of at least the approximately
400 teaching hospitals throughout the country,
where many poor and Third World women are treated.
More stringent regulations are also urged to
protect Native American women in light of the large
number of Indian women who have undergone coerced
and uninformed sterilizations at the hands of the
federally-operated Indian Health Service.
Further protection of the rights of people in
institutions and those who have been judged mentally
incompetant has also been urged.
"There are an awful lot of private homes for
the mentally retarded that won't take people at all
unless they're sterilized," said Stamm, "and the
government has absolutely no control." She urged
people who work with retarded people or in institu-
tions to write up their experiences on how people
do or do not exercise their rights in those situa-
tions and either present their testimony in their
area's local hearings or send them to HEW in Washing-
ton.
In coming weeks, HEW will hold public hearings
throughout the country on the proposed guidelines.
"It's very clear," said Stamm, "that the Department
(HEW) at this point is open to pressure. And the
more people that turn out and show interest, the
better the chances are that things will be
rewritten the way they ought to be."

The messages say, in part: "We are calling
for an all-white war against Jews and other non-
whites. I am sure you realizd that illegal non-
white immigrants have overrun O'lr borders and
have made us flee to the suburbs of our cities,
"We are beginning a battle by offering a
$5,000 prize for every nonwhite killed during
an attack on a white person i"
The court ruled that Jewish television
personality Marvin Zindler, who filed suit to
enjoin the messages, had no girounds for his
suit. The court said that Zwindler faced no
real personal threat because of the tapes, since
listeners must dial a telephone number in order
to hear them.

ANOTHER "SUICIDE?' AT MARION PRISON
NEW York (LNS) — •Scott Caldwell, a prisoner
in the infamous long-term control unit at the
U.S. Penitentiary in Marion, Illinois, died
December 31, 1977, in what prison officials
reported &s a suicide by hanging. Caldwell is
the sixth prisoner, an4i the third in 1977 alone,
to have allegedly taken his life while confined
lii the control unit. The unit is notorious for
its brutal and inhuman treatment of prisoners.
Despite the official version of the cause of the
deaths, sources familiar with the incidents
say that foul play can certainly not be ruled
■out. ■ ’ '■ '"'■ ■ . ■ ■ ' " ■■•
{ ■ ■ \ -"14 ■ . . , ■ • ' ,
Meanwhile, the National Committee to Support
the Marion Brothers reports that legal efforts
to close the control tinit have been delayed by
the presiding judge's failure to rule cn the case
two and one half years after it was tried. The
judges has procrastinated despite a U.S. Bureau
of Prisons admission that the suicide rate in
the unit is five times the rate in any other
federal prison and despite a Chicago Federal
Appeals Court ruling that the infamous closed-
front box cells in the unit represant a form
of punishment equal to the rack, the screw and
the wheel of medieval times.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE LNS INDEX
•This index covers LNS packet 839, January 5, 1977 through
892, December 16, 1977.
•The index is divided into four sections:
page 3: NATIONAL
page 1 1 : INTERNATIONAL
page 14: GRAPHICS, NATIONAL
page 16: GRAPHICS, INTERNATIONAL
•The full title of each LNS article is listed under the appropriate
category and subcategory, for example:

♦Each article is listed only once, under the category it focuses oh
the most.
For example, an article that focuses on one subject but mentions
another tangentially will only be listed under the first.
Another example: articles focusing primarily on Skyhorse and
Mohwak, not every article mentioning their names, will be found
under TRIALS: Skyhorse/Mohawk.
♦The “OTHER” subcategpry found at the end of each list of categories
includes articles that do not fit under any one of the categories, or those
that encompass a number of subcategories.
♦Cross-referencing is indicated in italics. There are two types of cross-
references:
1) If you look under “A” for amnesty, you will see a cross-reference which
reads: see MILITARY (AMNESTY), In other words, no
articles are listed under “A” for amnesty. They are all listed under
military, under the subcategory amnesty.
2) Some categories have articles listed under them, and in addition, have
a cross-reference to indicate another category where you might look for
related articles. For example: NATIVE AMERICANS (OPPRESSION/
RESISTANCE), which has articles listed under it, also indicates there is
a related article listed under ENERGY (NUCLEAR). (See above.)
♦In the graphics section of the index the packet number where you will
find a photo or graphic will be listed under its appropriate subject. A
detailed description of each graphic is not included. For example:
